I heard a rumour
The y travel far
You know what it’s like
The wa y people are
The y talk and the y talk
Though the y don’t understand
The y’ll whisper and whisper
And lie on demand
Please tell me now
I want to know
I have to hear it from your lips
Sa y it’s not so

I heard it on Monda y
And I laughed a while
I heard it on Tuesda y
I managed to smile
I heard it on Wednesda y
m y patience was tried
I heard it on Thursda y
And I hurt inside
I want to know
The depths of your mind
Tell me this whole thing is madness
And we’re doing fine
Put your little hand in mine
And believe in love
Put your head on m y chest
And breathe love
Breathe love
Breathe love
Breathe love

I heard it from Peter
Who heard it from Paul
Who heard it from someone
I don’t know at all
I heard it from Mar y
Who heard it from Ruth
Who swore on the bible
She’s telling the truth
I heard it from Simon
Who heard it from James
Confirming with Sarah
That I was to blame
I heard it from Joseph
Who heard it from John
Who said with conviction
That all hope was gone
So I need to know
Your alibis
I need to hear that you love me
Before you sa y goodb ye
Before you sa y goodb ye
Before you sa y goodb ye
Before you sa y goodb ye

Put on your blindfold
And a dress that’s tight
And come with me
On a Myster y night
Open your e yes

Follow our stars under a painted sk y
We’ll leave the world behind
We’re learning to fl y
We used to get b y

Forget the pictures on your TV screen
We’ll steal the visions
That you keep for your dreams
You can turn me on

I was blind and I saw the light
m y angel coming
In a brilliant white
Shine for me

You’ve been hanging from a rope of mediocrit y
Strung up b y your insecurities
You can shine for me
Somebod y has to
Shine for me
It’s difficult not to
Shine for me

Follow our stars under a painted sk y
We’ll leave the world behind
We’re learning to fl y
We used to get b y

Forget the pictures on your TV screen
We’ll steal the visions
That you keep for your dreams
You can turn me on

You’ve been hanging from a rope of mediocrit y
Strung up b y your insecurities
You can shine for me
Somebod y has to
Shine for me
It’s difficult not to
Shine for me
Somebod y has to
Shine for me
It’s difficult not to
Shine for me
